A/N: IF YOU'VE READ DORK 2: RECKLESS DRIVING THERE IS A JOKE IN HERE!

PLUS I KILLED A CHARACTER!

-

Lord of the Dark Makers

I dropped what was left of the bottle to assess what had happened. Kat was motionless on the floor. Did I kill her? I knelt down beside her and placed a hand to the side of her neck. No. Still alive. Just knocked out. I heard heavily labored breathing and I looked over at Dash. Her eyes were pale, with a grim look. She shook violently, and stared sort of dream-like. Finally she said something. I didn't hear what the others were doing, there was a low murmur of talking behind me, but all I could hear were my dear friend's words.

Dash: Janovah...my time has come.

I didn't comprehend the meaning of her words until it flashed before my eyes. She breathed harder and louder and sort of swayed for a second. Her eyes rolled back in her back and she fell forward on her stomach. She lay with eyes closed, no more sound of breathing. One of my worst fears was realized. I groped her wrist, and begged silently to nobody that signs of life would still be there. But they weren't.

She was dead.

No...no...this was all terribly wrong! She was dead...And not only dead, but murdered by her friend! By my friend! Kat killed Dash. She shot her. Anger surged through my body...a fresh blood lust ached to be fed. I clenched my fists and felt my nails dig into my palms. I spoke, shouted, without even thinking.

Janovah: NO!

I was in my dark form before I realized it. But it quickly faded. I looked up at the bystanders. The green-haired woman was talking to Torn and Daxter.

Torn: Oh my god, is she dead?

I nodded sadly. The grief and anger was corrupting my mind quickly like poison.

Daxter: No! Not big orange! She was only one who understood my pain of being an ottsel!

But we didn't get to finish thoughts because outside of the room, we heard a scream, and more screams, and the shouts of Freedom League guards. Many were yelling things along the lines of, "They're here! We're all going to die!" or "Evacuate the ship!" but at any rate it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out we were in danger. Now came for decision time. What should we do? Try and fight them off? Or get on the escape pods? Then I remembered; dark makers could not be killed. Damn it, Rin! You always have to make it more complicated. We had only one choice. We had to get out.

Janovah: Dark Makers? We have to evacuate! Right now!

The green haired woman gave me a doubtful look.

: How do you know what we should do?
Janovah: Well...ehm...eh. What's your name?
: Keira. My name is Keira Hagai, daughter of Samos Hagai, expert on all types of eco. I just returned from my expeditions around the globe researching different sorts of eco. I'm an expert.
Janovah: Nice credentials, Keira. Dark Makers can't be killed.
Keira: How do you know?
Janovah: I'd rather not talk about it.
Daxter: Hell-Oh! We still have a crisis here!
Janovah: Evacuate the ship! I'm going to go find Tess. She's too small to get out on her own. Take Dash and Kat with you.

Torn looked a little confused at first. I had spoken like Dash was still alive. I just wanted her to have a proper burial.

Torn: Yes, of course. You do that. She's in the armory.
Daxter: Bring my Tess back safely!

I darted out of the door. It was chaos, people running around aimlessly, yelling and screaming. I spotted a dark maker coming around a corner. I was unarmed, so I was in danger. I took an unnoticed path to the armory. The large metal sprung open immediately and I stepped into the large, metal room. Tess was cowering on her table. She was so afraid of Dark Makers.

Janovah: Tess! Come with me!

She obeyed quickly and jumped on my shoulder. I heard rattling coming from a vent in a corner. The source of the noise was revealed as a large dark maker burst through with gusto. I didn't stay another minute to look at it. I ran, fast. Tess was clinging to my shoulder for dear life. People were scurrying to the escape pods. Tess leaped off and bounded for the Hangar door which was only a few feet away. I watched as many poured in. Nobody else came after a while, so I assumed that was everyone.

But I felt a horrible, sudden shaking of the facility. The floor began to crack open. Then it all flashed white, I felt myself falling a long way. I hadn't felt myself land, but I had stopped moving. The white faded. There was a thick mist lacing the air. I was lying on my back. There was strange feeling of deja vu. Rain was falling heavily. I got up quickly, and found dark maker metal under my steel-toed boots. I knew what this was; Rin's tower. I heard the familiar, creepy monotone voice seep into my ears like acid.

Rin: Poor, foolish little girl.

I couldn't see him. I couldn't see anything. This was the nightmare I had had. Where he says he was more than I thought. I thought it was just a dream!

Rin: Poor wittle Janny thought what she dweamed wasn't twoo.

He used a mock-baby voice that made my rage surge harder. Dare I use it...the weapon? That's right-I didn't have my seal!

I ran forward a ways until I saw the back of Rin clearly in the mist.

Rin: I am more than you think. Your dream isn't all true, however...

He held out his arms, and there was a flash of purple. For moments that felt like hours I was blinded. The light faded and I saw made my stomach do a summersault. His arms were long and purplish, two legs equally as frightening. And a scaly purple tail protruded from his backside. With some sort of burst of energy his transformation was complete. There was large monster in front of my, at least as tall as the tower itself. It was a giant dark maker with torn wings. It's red eyes pierced into mine.

Rin was the dark maker lord.
